Hi

I have graduated this May and started working with Optional Practical Training status from June. Can somebody please tell me what will be the tax I should be paying if my income for this year will be :

8800 as a part-time student worker on F1 status.
33000 as a full time worker on OPT status.

What will be my Fed tax percentage and state tax percentage?
Also what tax forms should I fill next year when filing taxes apart from 1040NR?

Thanks a lot
Arkay

Arkay:

To answer accurately, I need to know:

- Your marital status.
- Your home country.
- When you FIRST arrived in the U.S.
- Whether you will remain in the U.S. beyond your OPT on a H-1 or H-1B visa.

Arizona's marginal tax rate for a $42K salary is 3.36%.

The federal marginal tax rate is 15%.

Thanks for the reply.

-I am single
-Home country is India
-I came in July 2007
-I will remain in US beyond OPT

Thank you.

You must file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ with Form 8843. On your income, you do not pay Social Security and Medicare taxes. You will pay federal income tax and state income tax.

Everything MukatA says is accurate.

The tax rates I provided earlier remain the same.
